Since it looks like it's an Athlon you're wanting to optimise for, I would suggest getting the latest version you can. They have optimised Athlon memory copy routines which by all accounts go like stink *but* can hang some machines. If your Athlon doesn't boot/work with an Athlon-optimised kernel, check out http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0109.1/0817.html, which seems to be the best patch, even if nobody knows why it works. -- Jim Hague - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Work), [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Play) Never trust a computer you can't lift or you don't control. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
